  • Patent number: 9067392
    Abstract: The invention relates to a biaxially oriented microporous film composed of at least two coextruded layers encompassing an external shut-off layer and another layer, wherein both layers contain a mixture of propylene homopolymer and propylene block copolymer and ?-nucleation agent. The propylene block copolymer I of the other layer has a melting point exceeding 140° C. and the propylene block copolymer II of the external shut-off layer has a melting range starting at a temperature ranging from 50 to 120° C. The melting point of the propylene block copolymer I is greater than the melting point of the propylene block copolymer II. The film can be used as a separator in a primary or secondary battery.

  • Patent number: 8980144
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a biaxially oriented polypropylene film including at least one layer, which is constructed from propylene polymer B and a propylene polymer that has been recycled once. The method includes heat and melting propylene polymer B in a first extruder and heating a melting a propylene polymer A without a fraction of recycled material in a second extruder. The molten mass of the propylene polymer A is fed to two sides of the propylene polymer molten mass of B such that the propylene polymer A forms border regions of the film during the production process. The two border regions are then cut off after longitudinal and traverse stretching of the film, and melted and mixed together with the propylene polymer B and extruded to form a precursor film in the first extruder. The biaxially oriented polypropylene film comprising a propylene polymer that has been recycled only once is useful for producing capacitors.
